I've been working on a patch for 2.4.18 that allows PAGE_OFFSET to be set on boundarys other then 1GB multiples. I started with a patch that I got from Martin Bligh and back ported it to 2.4.18.

I'll apologize in advance for not having figured out how the configure system works, so, when you apply this patch it's on. Also, you have to edit vmlinux.lds AND page.h to move the boundary.
Anyway, I now need to propagate this patch forward to 2.4.20 and wanted to get it out there for other people to look at.
I will do the config thing when I do this port.

On the subject of the 4G/4G patch, I started with 2.5.74, added patch-2.5.74-bk1 and http://redhat.com/~mingo/4g-patches/4g-2.5.74-F8 and I get a hunk that fails:
patching file include/asm-i386/mmu_context.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 29. Hunk #2 succeeded at 38 (offset -5 lines). Hunk #4 FAILED at 75. 2 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/asm-i386/mmu_context.h.rej
Is/are there a patch(es) that I'm missing?
I'm pretty new to hacking on the linux kernel.
